"GeekTool is a PrefPane (System Preferences module) for Panther or Tiger to show system logs, unix commands output, or images (i.e. from the internet) on your desktop (or even in front of all windows)."

The Linux kids have been doing this forever. Widgets are neat, but they don't have the tty non-anti-aliased grittiness of Geektool scripts.

I think every person who has ever used GeekTool really wanted to see it developed. Luckily, the original developer has started GeekTool3. As of now, the alpha builds are lacking some of the features, but it looks to be a rewrite and will incorporate many of the things you see done with things like Conky. Click the link above for the homepage and surf to the forums.

Messed around with GeekTool for an hour or two. It is pretty esoteric to non-programmers, but it is so worth it. There is enough guidance online that someone who doesn't speak shell or perl can have (if I'm a good example) a todo list than sinks with Toodledo, a fancy clock, local weather etc. I really recommend this; it takes a while to figure out, but is very cool.
